Why “Madame Weebles”??

A few people have asked me why I chose “Madame Weebles” as my nom de plume here. Well, I thought about a few possibilities. I could have gone with “Miss Weebles” but that sounds prissy, and “Ms. Weebles” is only slightly less prissy. And “Mrs. Weebles” sounds like it should be the name of a kindergarten teacher.

Then I decided to try international variations. “Señora Weebles” just didn’t sound right, even though I can’t quite figure out why. Same with “Signora Weebles.” I thought about “Frau Weebles” but that just sounds menacing.

I also considered “Madam Weebles” but that makes me sound like I should be running a brothel for people with a fetish for tiny, fat-bottomed toys. Not that I’m judging, it’s just not my thing.

So after running through all of those options, I settled on “Madame Weebles.” I don’t know if they have Les Weebles in France, but that’s not really the point.

How about mademoiselle weebles, weeble’licious, weebles R’ us, etc… I can see how name picking can just drag on and on. But in the end, Madame Weebles does sound about right 🙂
Madame, do you have a blog called, “Why Weebles”?

I think Madam Weebles is a great choice. I would definitely work for a Madam named Weebles. It makes me think you would bake me cookies while I was entertaining clients and I could have cold milk to dunk them in when I was finished. I don’t know how you’d get the money from me though, not unless you became Frau Weebles. I wouldn’t work for Fau Weebles, definitely not. ❤

I had a Weebles haunted house in the 70s, with a glow-in-the-dark ghost Weeble, and I LOVED that toy set! So finding a blogger with the name Weebles who sometimes writes about ghosts is making me feel right at home.

Hello and welcome, Wednesday’s Child! So glad you’ve joined us! I didn’t have Weebles as a kid but I know the haunted house. But thanks to eBay I now have the Weebles from that set, including the glow-in-the-dark ghost. I figure there are worse hobbies to have…

What a decision making process. I had no idea. (;
I found you on twitter yesterday. It was like a mini piece of home somehow. Technology is getting all the more confusing in terms of merging with the real world. Oy. Here we go. I’m the pigeon woman, of course.

I love the header image. I had me laughing for a bit but I have no idea why. I think a few months from now maybe someone will bestow upon you the Honorific title of Dame Weebles 🙂 Kick ass stuff up in this blog

Mr. Mary Muthafuckingpoppins! So glad to see you, and thank you so much for the kind comment! Dame Weebles, that has a nice ring to it, know what I mean? Also, apologies for the late reply, that bitch Sandy took out my power for a week. Hope all is well with you!

I definitely like your choice of Madame Weebles and I also like your machine gun wielding pussy cat as your profile picture, whereas from your wonderfully chosen title I would have expected a naughty lady of wickedness or something 😉

I tried splitting open my Weebles when I was young. I was so eager to see what was inside. My dad yelled at me for using the hammer on my toys… then I was forced to play with my Barbies. You have another follower, my dear.

Weebles! I love you, whether you be: Madame, Madam, Frau, Miss, Senora, or otherwise. You are aces, kid. It’s been way too long between visits and for that I’m very sorry. I’ll do better. Promise. Yours always in light and love, BigLizzy
